While you may have a choice avoiding GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) at the supermarket, you don’t have a choice avoiding GMOs if you have Type 1 or even Type 2 diabetes.

But drinking coffee could lower a person's odds for liver cancer, even among heavy drinkers, according to a new report from the World Cancer Research Fund.

You can reduce your risk of liver cancer every time you drink a cup of coffee, according to Italian researchers. While a new study explains this potential benefit, coffee consumption can be good for your liver in other ways as well, and the benefits of that cup of java don’t end in that organ either.

A drug commonly used to treat diabetes, metformin, may be beneficial in preventing liver cancer, according to researchers at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center.

A novel treatment for liver cancer that involves electromagnetic fields has shown promise in a phase II study, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).

A study from Columbia Technology Ventures, who were studying combat injury-related depression, has found an alternative to opiates or anti-depressants for chronic pain, the chemical N60.

California researchers found that the nutritional supplement SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) was successful in preventing the formation of primary liver cancer in rats. Primary liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most frequent cause of cancer death in the world.

Ohio State University cancer researchers have used computational and genomic methods to identify possible anti-cancer agents that may block a particular kind of tumor behavior. The agents target multiple genes associated with that behavior at one time.

The researchers wanted to find agents that might reverse the gene changes associated with invasive liver cancer and perhaps stop liver tumors from spreading in the body. Such therapy could greatly improve patient survival, the researchers say.

The findings are published online in the journal Cancer.

Researchers are poised to unlock the genetic secrets stored in hundreds of thousands of cancer biopsy samples that are in long-term storage and previously thought to be useless for modern genetic research. With the aid of a new technique developed by Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers, scientists can now reconstruct thousands of genes that are "shredded" into tiny pieces when tissue samples are treated with a chemical fixative and stored in wax - a protocol commonly used to preserve tissue samples indefinitely.

Infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes liver cancer in some individuals, but not all strains of the virus are associated with the same degree of risk. If confirmed, the newly reported data could help target chemoprevention strategies in the future.

Nexavar drug is found to improve survival rates in liver cancer patients.

A joint team of researchers from Hospital Clinic of Barcelona and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Group has examined 602 advanced liver cancer patients who were divided into two groups: one group was taking Nexavar - sorafenib, the second group was taking a placebo.
